Living in Mariahoeve and Marlot: green, well-connected, but with caveats

Mariahoeve and Marlot together form a neighbourhood with two faces. Mariahoeve is a typical 1960s neighbourhood with many porch flats and gallery flats, built in a spacious street plan with wide avenues and lots of greenery. Marlot is the opposite: a villa neighbourhood with avenues lined with old trees and stately homes. What they share is the green environment. Residents on Buurtje.nl give the neighbourhood a 7.5 out of 10. Sabrine calls it a "green residential area that is centrally located" and appreciates the good amenities in the area. The sub-score for greenery is therefore an 8.0.

In terms of amenities, you are well served. Shopping centre Mariahoeve on Ivoordreef has an Albert Heijn, Kruidvat and various specialist shops for daily groceries. For more extensive shopping, you can go to shopping centre Leyweg or the centre of The Hague. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including the Mariaschool and public primary school De Springplank. The score for education is a neat 7.5. Sports enthusiasts can go to tennis club Mariahoeve or swimming pool De Blinkerd, which is within walking distance. The Marlotbos and the Haagse Bos are nearby for a run or walk. In the Landen and Kampen neighbourhoods you will find the most supply of apartments.

Accessibility scores the highest of all categories: a 9.0. That is not an exaggeration. Tram 3 and 4 take you to The Hague Central Station in fifteen minutes, and RandstadRail stop Mariahoeve (line 4) provides a direct connection to Zoetermeer. By car, via the Benoordenhoutseweg you are quickly on the A12 towards Utrecht or Rotterdam. But there is also a downside. Resident Wesley notes that "something regularly happens" and that "there are sometimes shady characters with bad intentions walking around", which he does not consider safe for women and children. The safety score of 6.5 confirms that picture. It is fair to say that Mariahoeve, especially around the flats near Ivoordreef and Kruidhof, has places where you need to be alert in the evening.
